TilK FIRST 01" THE NEW BARRACKS buildings to be completed on the hor­t icultural gardens has been fitted up as a mess hall and mess for 200 sol­diers is now being served regularly. The placing of all of the S. A. T. C. men in a supervised mess on the cam­pus has required a s t re tching of the college boarding club facilities and "second table squads" are being formed temporari ly at some of the clubs.

A GARAGE for the sixteen army trucks is being built on the College Hall site. The walls of the Old build­ing are being carried up from the foundations, with the floor at the for­mer basement level. The completed building will be 50x100 feet, with eight double stalls for cars. En t rance wil l be from the west. The t rucks have been parked in the weather for several months and no doubt will ap­preciate the cover that the "shades" of old College Hall will 'afford them.

THERE CAN BE NO ACTIVITY among the men's l i terary societies in college this year or probably for the period of the war because of the inaugura­tion of the a r m y corps. Rapid changes in the personnel of the camp and the fact t h a t the men are too busy with strictly mil i tary t ra in ing to be abie to give any time to l i terary society activity will make their existence im­possible. All of the society houses ex­cept the Hesperian and Eunomian, which are being occupied by girls are closed or practically so, thus. far. The girls societies of course are con­t inuing as usual.

T H E HOLCAD, as such, will not be published this year according to a statement of the managing board. The editor of the student publication, E. E. Ungren, is a member of Co. 14, Bn. 3, section B, Camp Greenleaf, Ga., and the business manager, R. B. Hux-table, is in Lansing awai t ing the lift­ing the Spanish Influenza quarant ine to report at Camp Custer. Members of the editorial staff not in the S. A. T. C. are too few to under take the responsibility. There is some pros­pect, however, of an S. A. T. C. camp paper. Those promoting the issuing of a mil i tary camp sheet have in mind a strictly local, weekly or bi-weekly, that will carry campus, mil i tary and

athletic news. Details are being worked out through the Command­ant 's office. I t is possible tha t some member of the teaching, force may as­sume editorial responsibility for the publication.

NAVAL UNFITS or naval sections of the S. A. T. C. are to be established a t ninety-five universi t ies and col­leges in thirty-seven states. M. A. C.'s quota thus far is fifty men. Students admit ted to the reserve force are placed on active duty pay and re­ceive an allowance to cover the cost of their lodging, subsistence and tui­tion as agreed upon between the de­par tment and the college. The naval uni ts of the S. A. T. C. having naval officers as Commandants will be known as United States Naval Units and tnose .commanded by army offi­cers simply as naval sections, such army officers becoming the navy's representatives at the school and hav­ing disciplinary power over the naval students. M. A. C.'s naval contingent will thus be known as a naval section.

T H E FOLLOWING SECOND LIEUTENANTS have reported to Capt. Murchie to as­sist in the drilling of the S. A. T. C. and have been assigned to the newly formed companies: Ha r ry A. Day, Kenneth A. Davis, Joe K. Dedrick, Marvin M. Davis, John A. Kinnear, John J. McRoberts, Evere t t E. Mc-Quillon, John W. Depue, Robert F . Deebach, Ear l H. Dean, Leslie M. Da­vis, McCord Mclntire. Practically all are newly commisisoned and came to M. A. C. directly from t ra in ing camps.

T H E FOOTBALL TEAM represent ing the vocational section of the S. A. T. C. lost to the 'Detroit Naval Tra in ing Stat ion Saturday by a score of 7 to 6.

They failed to kick goal. They gave the Detroit Jackies a close call, how­ever, for when the final whist le blew the ball was on their two-yard line.

T H E FALL TERM ENROLLMENT was not as large as was expected, due in par t no doubt to the rumors . circulated about the state tha t no college work would be given outside the S. A. T. C. Exact figures are not available at this t ime from Miss Yakeley's office but an est imate places the total num­ber of men and women (S. A. T. C. included) at 1,600. In the collegiate section including the naval section there are approximately 550 men. Three hundred women have enrolled in the home economics course and ap­proximately 150 men, many of them upperclassmen, have entered for reg­ular college work. There are approxi­mately forty veter inary students, who are being taken in as an integral par t of the S. A. T. C. Besides the above there are 550 motor mechanics voca­tional men who entered Sept. 15.

A RESIDENT NURSE who will give her entire t ime to looking after the heal th and welfare of M. A. C. girls on the campus has been provided under the direction of Miss Howard. Mrs. H. J. Stafseth, wife of former research ass is tant in bacteriology, has been appointed for the position. Mrs. Staf­seth is a graduate nurse of consid­erable t ra in ing and experience. Hos­pital rooms have been outfitted on the thi rd floor of the Woman's Building and it is the intent ion to care for all minor illnesses of the girls on the campus there.

LAST YEAR'S VETERINARY GRADUATES who entered the army are now at Camp Greenleaf, Georgia. There are about 500 graduate veter inar ians in the camp, and after a certain amount of mil i tary t ra in ing they are to be given examinat ions for commissions as army veter inar ians . M. A. C. men in the camp are D. C. Beaver, Leon Kochman, O. O. Mater, Geo. J. Woi-ner and Harold E. Wright , all of '18.

Sergeant Leslie H. Cooledge, for­merly an instructor in bacteriology, is with the Det. Medical Department, Base Hospital No. 52, American Ex-Forces.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918.

A UXION BUILDING. With the collapse of College Hall

and the grinding of its old walls to a pathetic pile of ruins, there also crashed to earth long cherished hopes and well matured plans of the M. A. C. Union for a campus home—a home that was to have been an all-college meet ing place and stamping ground.

The loss of College Hall has been a. severe blow to alumni, akin to the loss of a dear old friend. Younger classes can not appreciate the tender­ness of feeling and the depth of love of the first fifty classes that have gone from M. A. C, for the old building. To many of them Alma Mater means College Hall. But later classes do know the need at M. A. C. for a col­lege club or gather ing place, and all recognize the blow tha t has been dealt the student and alumni groups in the loss of the building as a home for the Union.

The M. A. C. Union idea, however, is too big a notion to be smothered in the debris of College Hall. Al­ready like Phoenix of old it is r ising from the ashes. As we were recov­ering from the blow of losing College Hall, the first question asked was what will the Union do? Because it represents an idea vital to the insti­tut ion and because tha t idea has al­ready been received so generally and enthusiastically, by students, alumni, and faculty, the M. A. C. Union will-go on. Very soon it will build a new home of its own. The building of i t will be the most worthy under taking tha t alumni of M. A. C. have ever had the opportunity of supporting. And the opportunity will come when, through much giving, we have learned how to give.

* * * You may notice in this issue a

change in the appearance of the first page. Beginning with th is number the first page will be used for a resume of campus and college news given in short paragraphs without headings. We are contemplating a

number of changes in the make-up of the RECORD to effect a saving in paper without a reduction of reading matter . Do not be surprised if in the next week or so the RECORD appears at your door without a cover. We may even come to that .

Regular weekly issues, going out on Fr iday night are being resumed with this number.

BYRON D. HALSTED 71.

Dr. Byron D. Halsted, '71, formerly professor of botany at Rutgers Col­lege, died at his home in New Bruns­wick, N. J., August 28th. Dr. Hal-sted's death was due to a paralytic stroke, although he had been enjoying good health for several years.

Dr. Halsted was an eminent botanist and a man of high l i terary attain­ments and culture. He was famous as a scientist and plant breeder.

He was born in Venice, Cayuga county, New York, on June 7th, 1852. He came of a Quaker family of edu­cators, physicians and wri ters . At the age of two years he was left an

orphan and was brought up by rela­tives unti l he entered M. A. C. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1871 and his master ' s degree in 1873. Aft­er graduation h e taught for several years and went to Harvard in 1875 where he received the degree of Doc­tor of Science three years later.

For five years he was managing edi­tor of the American Agriculturist and later professor of botany at the Agricultural College, Ames, Iowa. In February, 1889, he went to Rutgers College as botanist and hort icul tur is t and has been associated with that in­

st i tut ion and the agricul tural experi­ment stat ion there for th i r ty years.

He was at one t ime president of the Botanical Society of America, also president of the Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Associ­ate Editor of the Torry Bulletin and Flora of North America and the au­thor of a number of agricul tural books and papers. He has also wri t ten con­siderable poetry, many of his poems having been printed in the RECORD from t ime to t ime.

Besides his widow he leaves three children, all located in the east, and one brother, Dr. Henry Halsted, '71, of Perry, Michigan.

Charles W. Garfield, '70, writes of him, "I loved Byron ror m e genuine­ness of his religious faith, for the simplicity and beauty of his relation­ship to his fellows; his ardent desire for service to the world and Catholic and tolerant spiri t exercised toward those who differed from him in forms of faith and thought."

The following is quoted from a Rutgers publication: "With the death of Dr. B. D. Halsted on August 28th science suffered a very•'.material loss. For nearly thir ty years Dr. Halsted was botanist of the New Jersey Agri­cultural Experiment Station. During his lifetime he conducted investiga­tions on plant life which have been recognized throughout the country as of the highest order and many valuable contributions were made to the science of botany. His work in plant breeding has resulted in dis­coveries which have proven to be es­pecially useful in the improvement of farm crops and the development of. n e w v a r i e t i e s of p l a n t s . "

J. HENRY MOORES WITH '69.

James Henry Moores, with '69, of Lansing, died at his home on the Moores River Drive August 24th. In his death Lansing and central Michi­gan have lost one of their most promi­nent benefactors.

Mr. Moores w*aS born- in Croton, Licking Co., Ohio, April, 1846. He entered M. A. C. in 1865 and attended three years, leaving in 1868 to go into t ruck gardening and later in the real estate - business.

An M. A. degree was granted *by the college to Mr. Moores in 1913.

In 1873 he began business as a lum­berman in northern Michigan and his energy and business ability won for him rapid advancement. I n 1881 he founded Moorestown in Missaukee county, Michigan. ' In 1896 the for­tune, which he had slowly built in the real estate and lumber business w^as lost through the failure of Lan­sing banks during the panic of tha t period. In 1897, his courage undaunt­ed, he wrent to Mississippi to begin anew and engaged in the lumbering

THE M. A. C. RECORD. 5

business there. In 1906 he re turned to Lansing after he had paid every debt tha t was owed from his bankrupt condition of ten years before.

Soon after his r e tu rn he became very prominent in Lansing business enterprises and was president of the Lansing Pure Ice Company; Lansing Stamping & Tool Company, and the Lansing Foundry Company and held offices in many other Lansing manu­facturing concerns.

Including the Moores Park and the Moores River Drive, which he left as a gift, he has bequeathed some five hundred acres of park and woodland to the city of Lansing.

He ret ired from active business life nearly a year ago. He leaves a wife and a sister, Mrs. S. J.' Weed, both of Lansing.

* HUBERT BARNES WYLIE '19.

Hubert Barnes Wylie, with '19, died at Camp Holabird, Baltimore, Md., on the morning of October 2d. He was ill with pneumonia only a short time.

Wylie spent two years at M. A. C. and entered the Second Tra in ing De­tachment, which began work at the college July 15th. He was a "member of Company D, and at the completion of his work here was one of the seven men to be selected from his company to at tend an officers' camp. All of

t the men of the Second Detachment were sent to Camp Holabird from M. A. C.

Wylie was quite well known on the campus and was a member of the Ec­lectic society.

ARMY CORPS CREATED OCT. 3.

A student army t ra in ing corps, in which Uncle Sam expects to find a fruitful source of officer material , was formally created at M. A. C. last Thursday morning. Five hundred fifty young men in uniform, and al­most as many more still in civilian clothes stood at a t tent ion on the college drill grounds facing Captain William E. Murchie, repeat ing after him in chorus the oath of allegiance to the flag:

"I pledge allegiance to my flag and the Republic for which it s tands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all ." .

The ceremony commenced at 11 o'clock, the hour designated in gen­eral orders from the war department as the t ime at which young men in the s tudent army t ra in ing corps of the colleges of America should pledge themselves to the honor and defense of their country. Captain Murchie on a raised platform, stood facing the assembled companies, while behind him were grouped Colonel Bersey, adjutant general of Michigan, and his staff; Major Duff, represent ing Gov­ernor Sleeper, and President F . S. Kedzie of the college, all of whom

spoke briefly of the importance of the occasion.

Captain Murchie read messages from President Wilson, the secretary of war and from General Peyton C. March, chief of staff.

The President's Message.

The words from the president to the s tudent soldiers were these:

"The step you have taken is a most significant one. By it you have ceased to be merely individuals, each seeking to perfect himself to win his own place in the world and have become comrades in the common cause of making the world a better place to live in. You have joined yourself with the entire manhood of the country and pledged, as did your forbears, 'your lives, your fortunes and your sacred honor, ' to the freedom of hu­manity.

"The enterprise upon which you have embarked is a hazardous and a difficult one. This is not a war of words; this is not a scholastic strug­gle. It is a war .of ideals for which this country stands, but you must also be masters of the. technique with which the battle is fought. You must not only be thril led with zeal for the common welfare, but you mu.-i also be masters of the weapons of today.

"There can be no doubt of the is­sue. The spiri t tha t is revealed and the manner in which America has responded to the call is indomitable. I have no doubt tha t you too will use your utmost s t rength to main ta in that spiri t and to carry forward to the final victory tha t wTill certainly be ours."

MISS ANNE HOWARD ADVISOR OF WOMEN.

The hew position of advisor ot women, which was established upon the recommendation of Dean White before she left M. A. C. has been filled by the appointment of Miss Anne Howard. Miss Howard comes to M A. C. from Olivet where during the past year she has been Dean of Women. She is a southern woman, and was educated in schools of the south. She began her professional career as associate professor of Eng­lish and history at the State Agri­cultural College at Pullman, Wash­ington. Following this and other as­s ignments as a teacher, she has had a wide experience as a director of women's work in colleges. For six years she was Dean of Women at the State University at Seattle, Washing­ton, going from tha t position to Cin­cinnati to become Dean of the Home Department at the Cincinnati Con­servatory of Music.

Under the new ar rangement the former position of Dean of Home Economics held by Miss White has been divided under the heads of Dean of Home Economics and Advisor of

Women. Miss Mary Edmonds, head of the domestic science department, has been appointed Dean of Home Economics. Upon the Advisor of

Women falls the responsibility for the girls ' life and welfare upon the cam­pus, while the Dean of Home Eco­nomics will direct their academic work.

MILITARY ORGANIZATION OF STU­DENT BODY COMPLETE.

The transformation of the motley crowd of incoming students into the mil i tary units of the S. A. T. C. has-been very rapidly accomplished. Al­though the army officers a t the col­lege had scarcely completed the or­ganization of the vocational section of the S. A. T. C. tha t poured into the college on September 15th, the for­mation of Section A, the collegiate section was gotten under way in rec­ord time. The entire 550 men were quickly divided into companies C, D, and E and were assigned to quarters , mess arrangements were completed, and they have been issued some clothing and equipment.

Company C, under command of Lieut. Fiske, has been placed in the top floor of Wells Hall and the over­flow together with the naval section are quartered in the Constabulary bar­racks. Company D; under command of Lieut. Colville, is in the fourth floor of the Agricultural building and Company E, under command of Lieut. Ferguson, is finding quar ters in the new barracks. Lieut. Lessig is ad­ju t an t for the ent ire detachment, as well as athletic officer. Companies A

and B comprising the vocational sec­tion, will occupy the neAV barracks on their completion. Lieut. Caldwell is in charge of Company A. Lieut. Tier-nan who was in command of Com­pany 13 lias just been transferred to .Marquette Normal School, Marquette, .Michigan, to have charge of the S. A. T. C. work there.

The commanders of the vocational section will have their office head­quar ters in the Hort icul tural building.

Classes started Monday, October 7. Reveille sounds in the morning at 6:25 o'clock; study and recitat ions are from 8:00 to 12:00 in the morn­ing; drill from 2:30 to 4:45; quar ters at 7:15, which means that every young man must be in barracks at

study period from 7 :15 until 9:00; laps at 10:00 o'clock. A fairly full day the "freshmen" think

M. A. C. WINS FROM ALBION 20-7.

The Michigan Aggies while ^till a bit "individualistic" and stiff .n the joint, were able to give their 1918 season auspicious beginning Saturday by defeating the Albion college team 20 to 7. But greater than the satis­faction of defeating Albion was the pleasure old fans derived in glimpsing such promising prospects for a suc­cessful season for the Aggie squad.

It was Coach Gauthier 's powerful backfield tha t overwhelmed the visit­ors, though the line also had the Methodists pretty well worn down by the t ime for cessation of hostilities arrived. Graves a t fullback was all that he was expected to be, forging through the line and twist ing his way off tackle for gains tha t were consist­ently from 5 to 15 yards. In this Snider and Dunphy lent effective co­operation. Both these boys carried the ball almost as regularly as Graves. The showing of this trio, with the promised work of Schmidt, who be­cause of his condition was in for only a few minutes, gives the Aggies prom-ice of possessiong a high-speed, hard-hammering squad.

Graves toted the ball over in the first quarter for the initial score of the year. Later he kicked goal. Then in the second period Franson cuddled up one of Albion's fumbled punts, loping 40 yards for the : touchdown. Graves scored again in the third and likewise kicked goal.

During the third and fourth quar­ters the Albion boys gave the Farm-

ers a stand-up fight, scoring first downs four t imes on successful for­ward passes. I t was inability of the Aggies to closely guard against passes tha t permit ted the visitors to earn as much as a yard, for every a t tempt by them to advance through the line and around the ends was completely frus­trated. One of the visi tors ' passes, Cole to McColluf, earned them their score, McColluff breaking away after the catch for a 40-yard dash to the goal lines.

The game was the first 'varsity fray in which five of the Aggies' line-' men participated. These were An­drews and Schwei on the ends, Johns and Van Orden, guards, and Bos, left tackle. All of them won their spurs. The life of the line was Franson, at r ight tackle, and Archer, at center. They fought like old-time Aggies and were active in keeping things pepped up.

Thus far no changes have been ne­cessitated in the schedule because of the war department 's rul ing relative

ne allowed for games. On Oct. i _ ..owever, Hillsdale has been substi­tuted for the Kalamazoo College game

latter inst i tut ion having can-relied their schedule.

I t was a forced march and men and horses were ready to rest for a couple of days. We then went into position and assisted the infantry in some of their hardest fighting. We were in that po­sition only about two days before we had to move forward again. We moved forward about seven kilome­ters one afternoon to another position but we Averen't asked to fire as the H u n retreated too fast. We followed him all the next day and again came within range of him tha t night. The

fighting has been on this last l ine of resistance ever since. There are sev­eral things I would like to tell you hut cannot. Things I know you would be personally interested to know. If I am fortunate I will tell them later.

"The fighting throughout this sector and this front has been very savage. The Germans fought most desperately to hold off the American advance. They chained men to machine guns with orders to fire, unti l the last. The American advance couldn't be resisted though, and the Hun got a good idea of the fighting qualities of the Ameri­can "Doughboy." From now on I will take off my ha t to our "Doughboys." There are none better in the world.

"You only have to look at the fields and villages to realize how desperate and terr ible the fighting mus t have been. I have seen fields where it seemed as though there wasn ' t a square inch tha t wasn ' t h i t by a shell. The towns and villages remain as only heaps of crumbled stone. Along the roads you see piles and piles of German shells and other supplies along wi th their personal equipment.
